Thoughts from previous clients

Having Teresa
as my doula for my pregnancy and the birth of my son, was the best thing that I
could have done for myself during the process. I did not know a great
deal about pregnancy and knew even less about labor and delivery prior to
becoming pregnant and was feeling very unprepared for the whole thing.
Teresa offered invaluable support and knowledge throughout my pregnancy.
She helped me through my doubts and concerns and offered helpful and
encouraging advice as I talked through things with her during those months.
I found Teresa through another doula in the area and my husband
and I felt comfortable with her right away. During my pregnancy she was
always available when I needed her. I spent a lot of time emailing her
questions and looking for the support that I was not able to find in all of the
reading that I was doing to prepare for the coming of the baby.
My birthing experience was fantastic and having Teresa there was
such a help. She was an advocate in the room for me and my family and
helped to make sure that I was involved in decision making as things
progressed. She helped me through the labor and delivery and was a
wonderful support in the hours that followed the birth. I would recommend
a doula to any expectant mom, and would warmly and whole-heartedly recommend
Teresa specifically. Her calming and nurturing style and presence were
just what I needed throughout my pregnancy and birth.

~ Maia ( mom to Connor & Preston )

Teresa is a warm, wonderful, incredibly experienced doula
and I couldn't have asked for anyone better. I was so pleased I chose
her. In addition to the birth experience itself, throughout my entire
pregnancy and also post-partum, Teresa has provided incredible emotional
support, by email, phone, and in person, for whatever issues arise for me.
She is always thorough and helpful in her responses. You can tell
she truly loves what she does and cares for each mother that she works with.
One of the main reasons I chose her is that I wanted someone very
experienced this time, since I was hoping for a VBAC and I wanted everything to
be optimal (my last doula was new to the profession, and while kind and caring,
when things got difficult during labor she didn't know how to support me).

Teresa was fabulous during my birth, and I consider her one of the reasons I
was able to have the natural childbirth VBAC successfully. During the
pushing phase I was having difficulty and the midwife and doctor were
considering a c-section. My doula was quick to provide some suggestions to help
me direct my pushes, which really helped me. alot!
I could go on and on about how much I loved Teresa- I would recommend her to
all of my friends, and if I have another birth someday, I will
definitely hire her again. She was helpful and full of knowledge and
suggestions but presents everything in a very sensitive and non-obtrusive way.
During the labor/birth, she is so competent and understanding.

~ Laura Ann ( mom to Jimmy & Elliot)

I highly recommend Teresa Coyle Airey as a birth doula. I
delivered in a hospital and could not imagine my pregnancy, delivery,
or postpartum experience without Teresa. She was great interacting and
supporting both myself and my husband - so encouraging, professional, kind,
patient, generous, informative (in a helpful, not a pushy way), and has a great
sense of humor!

~ Adrienne (mom to Lila & Oliver)

Birthing and new moms are very lucky to have you as a doula...you were incredibly helpful to me at a very low point in the motherhood process.

~ Maryam ( mom to Roxy )

We were talking about you earlier and just what a great help, comfort, and support it was to have you with us during the birth. We are so grateful to have found you and, as it turns out, just in time :-) We have been sharing a lot about our experience as we communicate the birth of our son to our friends and relatives. It helps to reminisce about our wonderful birth experience together. You are a central part of the reason it was such a smooth and fantastic birth. We can not thank you enough for all that you did to help us along the way.

~ Ryan ( dad to Felix )

We can not begin to thank you enough for all your amazing
support during the most amazing time of my life! You are so wonderful :)

~ Kate ( mom to Isabel & Griffin )

Is it clear to me that my husband and I could not have brought our son into the world the way we did without you at our side. Your support has been invaluable to us! I had the birth I wanted ( how blessed am I ) and I really didn't even know what that was until you entered the picture and offered the guidance I needed. You were there every step of the way , through my pregnancy, illness, birth, postpartum and you continue to offer me your kindness, wisdom and courage long after the birth. I am so grateful to you. We think the world of you.

~ Stephanie & Ken ( parents to Matthew & Shayla )

I cannot thank you enough for everything you have done for me and how much I appreciate your endless support. This was certainly a journey for me and my family and it was so amazing to always have you as a listening ear. I can't imagine my birth going any better than it did, and you were a huge reason everything went so smoothly. You will always have a warm spot in my heart :)

~ Erin ( mom to Katie & Bennett )

Words honestly cannot express the gratitude I feel towards you. I don't know what I would have done without you. You have been so thoughtful and an invaluable support to me as I have worked through these challenging weeks. I hope you know that I will always remember you as an integral part of this special time in my life. Thank you…

~ Melinda ( mom to Elijah & Eamon )

Please accept my heartfelt thanks for being my doula through my pregnancy and birth. I was blessed when God brought you into my life. I am especially lucky to have had you as a doula and also to have you become a friend.

~ Janna ( mom to Jacob )

Thank you for taking part in the birth of our son as a back up doula when our support person was not available. We were so grateful that you were able to help us on such short notice. Thank you for all the phone support early on in labor and the hours at the hospital. Thank you for *your* tender loving care.

~ Tina (mom to Todd)

I want to tell you how glad I am that our paths crossed and that we found you to be our doula. We were both so happy to have you at our birth and found your support to be so comforting. I also appreciate all our conversation and emails during the months of pregnancy and your willingness to be available to me all the time! With your support I was able to have the VBAC birth I had hoped for.

~ Jessica ( mom to Fiona & Elena )

There is no way we could ever thank you for all the amazing things you have done for us and mean to us. It seems silly to even list the things we are grateful for, among which are the support, comfort, advice....but nothing will ever beat the birth of our daughter...you will always be a part of our family - one more thing to be grateful for!
